Bats are small, flying animals that can be found in numerous darker areas throughout RuneScape, such as Morytania. Many small bats can be found in Silvarea (the pathway to Paterdomus), as well as around the Slayer Tower.

There are several stronger variants of bats such as giant bats, warped bats, and albino bats.
